We had a fantastic time during my Vietnam trip in May. The itinerary was planned very well and had a good range of activities. We got much more than just a simple beach vacation. The accommodations were fine, the beach is clean and fresh. Our agent Esther advised us to spend a day at the hot springs with mud spa in Nha Trang, It was fantastic! Highly recommend!
Im currently near the end of my trip to Vietnam and it has been absolutely amazing! In 12 days we would have seen so many different places and done so many activities, some would be difficult to find or arrange on our own. This is all possible thanks to our amazing guide Yoni, who is very knowledgeable, always positive and has such an amazing energy!!
Forget "coconuts". This one's much more about "chopsticks"! Two week family trip going north to south through Vietnam. It's graded 1 for effort, but it moves at a brisk pace and manages to cram in a whole lot of places and activities. There is some 'free time' but this tour gets you up early and gets you out and about. Combining this with the humid and hot weather it can be surprisingly tiring. It is a family trip so we had beach days, canoe-ing, cycling, snorkelling and a trip to a water-park, which were really good fun for everyone.
FOOD!!!!. Vietnam is a country with a cuisine (excellent) and food figured prominently in the tour. We ate and drank well and are now very proficient with the aforementioned chopsticks!
It is also a country with a complex and troubled history and this was not glossed over. We left with a real feel for the place and its people. It is an amazing place full of very warm and friendly people.
